Haryana’s Public Works, Forest and Civil Aviation Minister Rao Narbir Singh said on Sunday that the road from Hero Honda Chowk on Delhi-Gurugram Expressway to Dwarka Expressway will be six-lane.

Gurugram: Haryana’s Public Works, Forest and Civil Aviation Minister Rao Narbir Singh said on Sunday that the road from Hero Honda Chowk on Delhi-Gurugram Expressway to DwarkaExpressway will be six-lane.

Tender for this will be floated by August and it will be constructed by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).

He said the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was requested to make six-lane road from Hero Honda Chowk to Dwarka Expressway but refused to work on the proposal. After this the work was assigned to GMDA.

Rao Narbir Singh came here to start the carpeting work of the road in Gurugram Sector 10.

About Rs 80 lakh will be spent on carpeting this road connecting Farrukhnagar Road from Pataudi Road to Sector 10.

NEW DELHI/KUNDLI: The Eastern Peripheral Expressway — which is expected to provide major relief to Delhi from vehicular pollution — is set to be completed in a record time of 500 days as against a sanctioned target of 910 days, NHAI officials said.

The 135-km Expressway will boast of many firsts including a closed tolling system in which toll will be collected only on the distance travelled and not on the entire length, National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) Chief General Engineer ..

There will also be provision for electronic collection of toll to ensure disruption-free movement of traffic.

“Apart from that, we have also installed weigh-in motion sensors on all entry points which will ensure that over-loaded vehicles are not allowed to enter the Expressway,” he said.

Normally, weigh-in motion sensors are installed — if at all they are — at toll plazas when it is not possible to send the vehicles back. But here, the sensors are installed at all entry points with two gates — one leading to the Expressway and the other redirecting the vehicle if it is over-loaded.

“We have also made provision for parking of overloaded trucks where they can unload some of the cargo to satisfy the weight criteria and then move to the Expressway. This is the first expe ..

To check speeding, cameras have been put up every two kilometres.

“Over-speeding vehicles will be issued the challan at the toll plaza and the challan amount would be added to the total toll amount. This will be a great deterrent to over-speeding,” Singla said.

While some work is still to be completed on the expressway which connects Palwal with Kundli bypassing Delhi, the Expressway is expected to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 29.

All NHAI officers that the IANS spoke to expressed confidence in completing the pending work by then.

NHAI Member (Public Private Partnership) Neeraj Verma said the Expressway will reduce vehicular pollution in Delhi-NCR by around 27 to 28 per cent according to a study.

“Also, we have made it a green highway with solar panels installed at various locations which will provide power to illuminate the underpasses below the Expressway,” he said.

Also, there are eight solar power plants along the Expressway having a capacity of 4,000 kilowatt. These plants will supply power to the grid and the amenities on the Expressway will take power from the same grid.

“So in effect we will produce the power that we consume and will have zero operating cost as far as power is concerned,” Verma said.

He added that 33 per cent of the earth work on the highway was done using fly ash from coal power plants thereby compounding its contribution to reducing pollution.

Singla added that while Road Transport and Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari had ordered him and other officers to complete the work in 400 days as against the sanctioned target of 910 days, the team was able to finish the work in a record time of around 500 days despite several technical and other hurdles.

Gadkari’s close aide Vaibhav Dange said this was achieved because of the personal interest Gadkari took in the project which also led to fast clearances.

“Every bill of the contractors was paid within 24 hours. Extra manpower was deployed and work was done day and night to complete this project in the record time,” he said.

“And it is not just about completing this in lesser number of days. It’s about the change in the attitude where now every stakeholder believes that it can be done,” he added.

The 135-km six-lane access-controlled Expressway is built at a cost of around Rs 11,000 crore and will help decongest the national capital.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has awarded to L&T one of the five packages of Rs 7,500 crore Dwarka Expressway project in Haryana under the Bharatmala project, the government said today.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has awarded to L&T one of the five packages of Rs 7,500 crore Dwarka Expressway project in Haryana under the Bharatmala project, the government said today. The package to build eight-lane expressway from Basai RoB to NH 8 – SPR intersection in Haryana will be executed at a cost of Rs 1,047 crore under EPC (engineering, construction and procurement) mode, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a statement. “The NHAI has issued Letter of Award – LOA for Package-4 of Dwarka Expressway from Basai RoB to NH-8 – SPR intersection in Haryana on EPC under Bharatmala Pariyojna…This eight-lane Expressway (NH-248 BB) will be constructed on EPC Mode at a cost of Rs 1047.007 crore. The 8.76 km stretch of the road will be constructed by L&T,” the statement said.

Development of this section of Dwarka Expressway will ensure seamless and safe movement of traffic between Delhi-Gurgaon and help in decongestion of the Delhi-Gurugaon Expressway, it said. The project comprises of 8-lane elevated structure for main carriageway of Dwarka Expressway, Trumpet Interchange for Manesar Road and Cloverleaf interchange with NH-8-SPR intersection.

The completion period of the project is two years with maintenance period of four years. Under the project, a minor bridge will be widened, additional ROBs, five VUP (vehicle underpass), six Bus Bays with Bus Shelter will be erected and four Junction Improvements will be carried out, it said. “Dwarka Expressway has to be implemented in 5 Packages.

The first package of 5.3 kms is from Shiv Murti to RuB, the second of 4.2 kms from RuB to Haryana border, package 3 from Haryana border to BasaiRoB – 10.2 Kms, package 4 from Basai RoB to NH-8 – SPR intersection – 8.77 Kms, and the fifth package – 5 kms of Western Airport Connectivity from Dwarka Expressway through tunnel,” the statement said.

With this notification NHAI has also specified the speed limit of 80kmph on Dwarka Expressway, once completed the road will emerge as an alternate route between Delhi-Gurgaon

GURUGRAM:National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) finally issued notification granting national highway status to 28 km long Dwarka Expressway starting from Shiv Murti in Delhi to Kherki Daula in Gurugram. The notification has come after over a year of an announcement made by Union minister Nitin Gadkari to grant NH status to the expressway.

With this notification NHAI has also specified the speed limit of 80kmph on Dwarka Expressway, once completed the road will emerge as an alternate route between Delhi-Gurgaon and it is expected to reduce the traffic load on Delhi-Gurgaon expressway. The move is also expected to expedite the completion of this much-delayed project.

Following the request of Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar during Global Investor Summit in March 2016 union minister has announced to give NH status to the road. Later in May 2016, MoRTH has given in-principal approval to Dwarka Expressway, now finally NHAI has issued the notification in this regard.

Developers are excited about the development. “We welcome the move as this will allow a positive drift in the momentum for Gurugram’s real estate market. NH status will boost infrastructure development of the area and likely to promote investment in new Gurugram,” said the director of Mapsko, Rahul Singla.

Terming it a landmark development, official spokesperson of Emaar India, said, “Expressway has great potential due to its proximity to international airport, NH8, and SPR.”

According to notification 28 km long Dwarka Expressway starts from Shiv Murti in Delhi on NH-8 passes through UER-II (parallel to Terminal-3 of Delhi Airport) up to Barthal Chowk (junction of Sector 25-26 Dwarka) then it will take left turn and go straight up to Kherki Daula in Gurugram and it culminates on NH-8, around one km before Khrki Daula toll plaza at SPR, CPR junction.

The 18.1 km stretch of the road is in Gurugram and rest in Delhi. In Gurugram only, around 1.4 km stretch in New Palam Vihar (around 1 km) and Kherki Daula village (around 400 meter) needs to be constructed. While in Delhi 6.5 km stretch from Shiv Murti to Bharthal Chowk is part of UER-II (no need for construction) and remaining 3.4 km stretch from Bharthal Chowk (junction of Dwarka sector 25-26) to Delhi-Haryana border needs to be constructed.

According to NHAI official for this 3.4 km stretch in Delhi, the authority has started land acquisition for 2.1 km stretch. Rest of the land is under DDA, which will be handed over to NHAI. “NHAI has started land acquisition process in Village Bamnauli and Bijawan. The total of around 24 hectares of land will be acquired to complete the Delhi portion of the expressway,” said the official.

The horizontal alignment of the road is designed for 80 kmph speed in general. The main carriageway is proposed to be of 8-lane with 3-lane service road on either side. At the intersections, flyover has been proposed. In order to avoid the traffic jam in future at crossing and junctions, NHAI will construct the underpass at such spots. “All the major crossroad including existing and proposed master road of sectors are supposed to have 4-lane underpasses for smooth movement of traffic,” said the official.

Two underpasses and one flyover on NH-8 will make the commute between Dwarka, Vasant Kunj, Dhaula Kuan and Gurgaon smoother. The first underpass will connect the Urban Extension Road, the other help traffic from Dwarka going to Gurgaon. The flyover will come up for traffic from Dhaula Kuan

Commute to Dwarka from Vasant Kunj, Dhaula Kuan and Gurgaon will become smoother as the Delhi government has proposed two underpasses and a flyover on National Highway 8.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has, however, raised an objection over the height of the flyover as it is close to runway 29, one of the three runways at Delhi airport.

The first underpass will start from Vasant Kunj Sector C and connect the Urban Extension Road 2, passing under the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway — which runs parallel to the airport’s boundary wall and connects to Dwarka. This will be 3.2 km long.

The underpass will help commuters avoid taking the congested Mahipalpur road to go to Dwarka.

“We have proposed two bypasses southern access and northern access from Vasant Kunj. Under northern access, we are giving signal free access to the airport from Vasant Kunj with the help of two flyovers and one underpass. Under the southern bypass, commuters going to Gurgaon and Dwarka will be benefited,” said a PWD official.

The Public Works Department (PWD) had conducted the feasibility study of the project and has handed it over to National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Once the NHAI’s work is done and the project gets no-objection from all agencies concerned, it will be handed back to PWD for execution.

An 800-metre long flyover is also proposed on NH-8 for the traffic coming from Dhaula Kuan and headed to Gurgaon.

“Giving right turn at the expressway would have hampered the traffic movement, a flyover was proposed so that traffic can turn right and go straight to Dwarka road, without affecting the vehicle flow on an expressway. The flyover will start soon after the Mahipalpur flyover,” the official said.

However, AAI has suggested some changes as flyover is close to the runway and the point where planes descend onto the runway.

The second underpass, which would be 800 meters long, will help commuters coming from Dwarka and headed to Gurgaon. Currently, they have to go towards Delhi and take a U-turn.

“This underpass will start from UER-II and will pass under the expressway and then merge with the NH-8 towards Gurgaon. So, the traffic from Dwarka to Vasant Kunj can take the first underpass and those wanting to go to Gurgaon can take the second underpass. While the first underpass will cater to traffic from both sides, the other two projects are for one-way traffic,” the official said.

After necessary approvals, the proposal will be placed before the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning & Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) before construction could start. The project will require at least 2-3 years to be made.

The Delhi government has also finalized the proposal of an underpass between Vasant Kunj and the airport. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has given its go-ahead for the project, which the Public Works Department (PWD) hopes to complete before the end of 2019.

Apart from an underpass at National Highway 8, a flyover at the Vasant Kunj side and a flyover at the airport side has also been proposed, which will also cut travel time by 30 minutes.
